[Recurrent hyperaldosteronism and hypertension post adrenalectomy (author's transl)].

Primary Aldosteronism may be due to adenoma or hyperplastic adrenals. Such a distinction can be obtained from biochemical studies. In our observation, a man with recurrent aldosteronism after right adrenalectomy was studied. Radiological and surgical data might indicate an adenoma. This opinion was modified by pathological studies. This absence of capsule and the presence of microadenomatous hyperplastic lesions indicated pseudo-adenomatous hyperplastic glands. On the other hand, high blood pressure remained after adrenalectomy. A treatment with beta-blocking substances corrected this hypertension.

[Error introduced in the radiocardiographic measurement of right volume by the non linearity of the detector in high count rates (author's transl)].

The short life tracers permit the use of high activities and so allow to follow with a good statistic accuracy fast phenomenons such as the different phases of cardiac revolution. However, this advantage may be quickly limited by the dead-time of the detection unit used. It results from this, in high activities, a non linear response which introduces non negligible errors which we have calculated and verifies thanks to experience in the measurement of right ventricular volumes.

[Pituitary investigations in idiopathic haemochromatosis (author's transl)].

Twelve patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis have been studied. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with normal prolactin appears to be a most constant finding. Other hypophysal functions are preserved. A rapid exploration of such patients with LHRH-TRH and insulin tolerance test is proposed.
